Depraved Appetite in Animals.

1t is universal result of indigestion
and malnutrition in animals that the
appetite becomes excessive or depraved
and either too much food is eaten or
coarse stuff which is not food IL craved.
Animals thus disordered arc always
unthrifty, because they do not digest
their food and get the full benefit from
it. This remedy is very simple. Give
a brisk purgative to clear out the sys-
TEN of all undigested matter and re-
lieve the liver and follow it with ono
dram each of podophyllin and pounded
Peruvian bark mixed with sufficient
molasses to smear it on the back teeth
and the tongue. Give three doses OF
the above in week, with bran mash
every day, and an ounce of salt in 1t.
Regular supply of salt is an effective
preventive Of this trouble.-N y
Times.

BRAVE COLONEL QUAY.
He Thinks II is Bettcr to Die n Fool TIL

He Thinks 1t is Bettcr to Die n Fool Than
Live Coward.
Colonel Quay's presence in the city
calls to mind the last occasion when he
bore that title into active service and
carried $4,000 in haversack. He
was Colonel of the One Hundred and
Thirty-fourth In the fall of 1862 he
had severe attack of typhoid fever.
He survived; but was SO broken in
health that the surgeon declared that
he would not be fit for duty again dur
ing the term of service of his regiment
He was accordingly mustered out
about December l, 1862. He remained
with the army, however, quartered in
the surgeons tent, and under treat
ment while settling up his regimental
accounts. The men of his regiment
had just received their first pay since
August, and almost all of them gave it
to Colonel Quay, knowing he was going
home, to take to their families. Some
of them had received their bounty
money at the same time, and the sum
intrusted to his keeping amounted in
his tent one morning and said:
you've got to go to the hospital.
This army is going to move and there
is going to be u fight"
Quay said he wouldn't go to the hos
pital. If there was going to be fight
he was going into it. The surgeon in
sisted, and Colonel Quay finally ap-
pcalcd to General Tyler, commanding
his brigade, declaring that he was going
into the attic. If he couldn't COM
mand his regim ont he would go in MS
volunteer. General Tyler told him he
was fool that the exposure alone
would kill him in his feeble state of
health.
"All right" said Quay. ~ would
rather die a fool than live coward"
General Tyler finally yielded, and
gave Quay an appointment on his staff
to serve during the engagement. But
there was the money, the $4,000 of
the mems pay. There was no safe
place to put it, and the men wouldn't
take it back. They said it was pretty
certain some of them would be Killed,
and the money was safer on the body
of staff officer than with them.
"You keep it," they said. "and il you
get knocked over we'll take you OFF the
field"
There was no help for it, and so he
packed the grecnbacks in n havcrsack.
strapped it about his waist, carried it
through the battle, and afterward
brought the money home and distrl-
butcd it among the wives and families
of his men. The battle was the SAN
culinary struggle of Frcdricksburg.
The One Hundred and Thirty-fourth
was in the hottest of it, and many n
dollar of the money Colonel Quay car
ried in the havcrsack came home rs u

Mrs. Lydia f. Pinkham, Lynn, Mass. !:
"About the first Of September, 1881, my
wife was taken with uterine hemorrhage.

scribe did not check 1t and she got more and
moro enfeebled. She was troubled with
Prolapsus Utcri, Leucorrh@a, numbness OF

Of appetite. 1 purchased q trial bottle Of

could discoper a sdiutarv effect from the first
dose. Now she is comparatively free from
the Prolapsus, Stomach's sickness, &c.
The hemorrhage is very much better and is

.PENuRlous HUSBANDS.
why wives should Insist Upon y Reguir
Annual Allowances OF Money.

| Annual Allowance OF Money.
Undoubtedly there are as many
spondthrift wives ss penurious hus-
bands, but when wife does put con-
science into tho management of her
husbands money, she should not be
obliged to account to him for the exact
manner in which she lays out every
penny in the dollar. A wife who has
not the control of certain sum of
money for her own private uses and
charities is thrown into many embar-
RAISING situations and can not feel
either dignifed or happy. She has
trining demands on her purse which
her husband need not and can not be
expected to understand, but which the
inability to satisfy deprives her of many
simple pleasures, and is often the last
straw in the burden of her daily annoy
ances.
II wife has an income OF her own,
(and the majority OF wives have none,
let her make the most of her early mar
ried life before her husbands affection
has had time to cool, as 1t will be very
likely to do after awhile, and settle
upon regular annual allowance for
her own private use, and also for house,
keeping purposes. A wife who is
obliged to ask her husband for every
cent and at the same time give an ac-
count of how it is to be spent, is very
likely to lose respect and affection. To
be obliged to make an appeal for fifteen
cents for patching Johnnie's shoes; to
have the sum doled out grudgingly with
the surly remark that Johnnie is too
hard on his shoes, will hardly make a
man seem hero in his wife's eyes. A
woman will strive doubly hard to see
that her husbands income is laid out to
the best advantage if she finds him gen.
erous and trustful. People are often
penurious in the wrong place and spoil
the ship for pennyworth of tar. A
man who disputes his wife's economy in
the matter of clothes-pins, often spends
in day on his own selfish desires
sum that would make his wife happy for
a month. Western PloWman.

difficult matter to prove, and she was

In December, 1858, General Bragg

known, and preparations made to cx.

ordered to bo upon the alert. The

before daylight undiscovered. In the
morning preparations were begun at

gayly prnttlcd on the sure approach OF
her friends and expected guests The
boom of artillery and occasional
'ping" of bullet over the low hills
across the river seemed to sustain her
view of the case. Cavalry, artillery
and infantry in blue rolled to the north;
the last train was loading at the sta
ton below, and every indication was
that the approaching Confcderates
would soon be in possession. Soon
after noon clattcr of hoofs and jing-
